— OF THE — 

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN PARTY. 

ADOPTED AT PHILADELPHIA, JUNE 6, 1872. 

The Republican party of the United States, assembled in National 
'Convention in the city of Philadelphia, on the 5th and 6th days of 
June, 1872, again declare its faith, appeals to its history, and an¬ 
nounces its position upon the questions before the country : 

First, During eleven years of supremacy it has accepted with 
grand courage the solemn duties of the time. It suppressed a 
gigantic rebellion, emancipated four millions of slaves, decreed the 
equal citizenship of all, and established universal suffrage. Exhib¬ 
iting unparalleled magnanimity, it criminally punished no man 
for political offences, and warmly welcomed all who proved loyalty 
doy obeying the laws and dealing justly with their ueighbore. It 
has steadily decreased with firm hand the resultant disorders of a 
great war, and initiated a wise and humane policy toward tie In¬ 
dians. The Pacific Railroad and similar vast enterprices have been 
generously aided and successfully conducted, the public lands freely 
given to actual settlers, immigration protected and encouraged, 
and a full acknowledgment of the naturalized citizens’ rights se¬ 
cured from European powers. A uniform national currency has 
been provided, repuliation frowned down, the national credit sus- 
'tained under the most extraordinary burdens, and new bonds nego¬ 
tiated at lower rates. The revenues have been carefully collected 
and honestly applied. Despite annual large reductions of the 
’•■rates of taxation, the public debt has been reduced during General 
^Grant’s Presidency at the rate of a hundred millions a year, great 
tfinancial crices have been avoided, and peace and plenty prevailed 
throughout the land. Menacing foreign difficulties have been 
peacefully and honorably composed, and the honor and power of 





V 


the nation kept in high respect throughout the world. This glori¬ 
ous record of the past is the party’s best pledge for the future. We 
believe the people will not entrust the Government to any party or 
combination of men composed chiefly of those who have resisted 
every step of this beneficent progress. 

Second, That recent amendments to the National Constitution 
should be cordially sustained because they are right, not merely 
tolerated because they are law, and should be carried out according 
to their spirit by appropriate legislation, the enforcement of which 
can safely be entrusted only to the party that secured tho8» 
amendments. 

Third, Complete liberty and exact equality in the enjoyment of 
all civil, political, and public rights should be established and 
effectually maintained throughout the Union, by efficient and ap¬ 
propriate State and Federal legislation. Neither the law nor it& 
administration should admit any discrimination in respect of citi¬ 
zens by reason of race, creed, color, or previous condition of 
servitude. • 

Fourth, The National Government should seek to maintain hon¬ 
orable peace with all nations, protecting its citizens everywhere^ 
and sympathizing with all peoples who strive for greater liberty^ 

Fifth, Any system of the civil service under which the subordi¬ 
nate positions of the Governme nt are considered rewards for mer& 
party zeal is fatally demoralizin g, and we, therefore, favor a re¬ 
form of the system by laws which shall abolish the evils of patron¬ 
age, and make honesty, efficiency, and fidelity the essential quali¬ 
fications for public positions, without practically creating a life- 
tenure of office. 

Sixth, We are opposed to further grants of the public lands to* 
corporations and monopolies, and demand that the national domain, 
be set apart for free homes for the people. 

Seventh, The annual revenue, after paying current expenditures,, 
pensions, and the interest on the public debt, should furnish a- 
moderate balance for the reduction of the principal, and that rev¬ 
enue, except so much as may be derived from a tax upon tobacco- 
and liquors, should be raised by duties upon importations, the de¬ 
tails of which should be so adjusted as to aid in securing remunera¬ 
tive wages to labor, and promote the industries, prosperity, and 
growth of the whole country. 


VI 


Eighth, We hold in undying honor the soldiers and sailors whose 
■valor saved the Union. Their pensions are a sacred debt of the 
nation, and the widows and orphans of those who died for their 
country are entitle to the care of a generous and grateful people. 
We favor such additional legislation as will extend the bounty of 
the government to all our soldiers and sailors who were honorably 
discharged, and who, in the line of duty, became disabled, without 
regard to the length of service or the cause of such discharge. 

Ninth, The doctrine of Great Britain and other European pow- 
-ers concerning allegiance—“once a subject always a subject”— 
diaving at last, through the efiorts of the Republican party, been 
abandoned, and the American idea of the individual’s right to 
•transfer allegiance having been accepted by European nations, it 
is the duty of our Government to guard with jealous care the rights 
•of adopted citizens against the assumption of unauthorjzed claims 
by their former governments, and we urge continued* careful en¬ 
couragement and protection of voluntary immigration. 

Tenth, The franking privilege ought to be abolished, and the way 
prepared for a speedy reduction in the rates of postage. 

Eleventh, Among the questions which press for attention is that 
which concerns the relations of capital and labor, and the Repub¬ 
lican party recognizes the duty of so shaping legislation as to se¬ 
cure full protection and the amplest field for capital, and for labor 
—the creator of capital—the largest opportunities and a just share 
of the mutual profits of these two great servants of civilization. 

Tioelfth, We hold that Congress and the President have only ful¬ 
filled an imperative duty in their measures for the suppression of 
violent and treasonable organizations in certain lately rebellious 
regions, and for the protection of the ballot-box, and therefore 
they are entitled to the thanks of the nation. 

Thirteenth, We denounce repudiation of the public debt, in any 
form or disguise, as a national crime. We witness with pride the 
reduction of the principal of the debt, and of the rates of interest 
'Upon the balance ; and confidently expect that our excellent na¬ 
tional currency will be perfected by a speedy resumption of specie 
payment. 

Fourteenth, The Republican party is mindful of its obligations 
to the loyal women of America for their noble devotion to the 
cause of freedom. Their admission to wider fields of usefulness is 


■<4 viewed with satisfaction, and the honest demand of any class of 
citizens for additional rights should be treated with respectful con¬ 
sideration. 

Fifteenth, We heartily approve the action of Congress in extend'* 
ing amnesty to those lately in rebellion, and rejoice in the growth 
of peace and fraternal feeling throughout the land. 

Sixteenth, The Republican party proposes to respect the rights 
reserved by the people to themselves as carefully as the powers del¬ 
egated by them to the State and to the Federal Government. It 
disapproves of the resort to unconstitutional laws for the purpose 
of removing evils, by interference with rights not surrendered by 
the people to either the State or National Government. 

, Seventeenth, It is the duty of the General Government to adopt 
such measures as may tend to encourage and restore American 
commerce and shipbuilding. 

Eighteenth, We believe that the modest patriotism, the earnest 
purpose, the sound judgment, the practical wisdom, the incorrupt¬ 
ible integrity, and the illustrious services of Ulysses S. Grant have 
commended him to the heart of the American people, and with 
him at our head we start to-day upon a new march to victory. 

Nineteenth, Henry Wilson, nominated for the Vice Presidency, 
known to the whole land from the early days of the great struggle 
for liberty as an indefatigable laborer in all campaigns, an incor¬ 
ruptible legislator and representative man of American institu¬ 
tions, is worthy to associate with our great leader and share the 
honors which we pledge our best efforts to bestow upon them.

REPUBLICAN STATE PLATFORM, 

ADOPTED AT 

liJDIANAPOLIS, FEBUUARY 22, 1872.. 

The Bepublicans of Indiana, by their delegates in convention 
assembled, in appealing once more to the people of the State for 
the support of their candidates for public office, declare; 

1. That in the future, as in the past, we will adhere to the 
principles of the Declaration of Independence, and'firmly sustain 
the Constitution of the United States as the true basis of popular 
freedom; and will maintain the equal rights of all men before the 
law; and the authority of the National Government against all 
false theories of State rights. 

2. That we therefore approve of the acts of Congress, and of 
the Administration, which put the rights of all citizens under the 
protection of the National authority when they are assailed by 
hostile legislation, or by the violence of armed associations, whether 
open or secret; and we demand the enforcement of the laws, that 
these rights may be securely and amply protected wherever in¬ 
vaded. 

•3. That we congratulate the country on the complete restora¬ 
tion of the Union; and now as heretofore, the Republican party 
remembers with gratitude our brave soldiers and seamen who im¬ 
periled their lives in the service of the country, and to whom as 
men who saved the nation in the hour of her peril we owe the 
highest honor; and we declare that our obligations to them shall 
never be forgotten, and we demand that the bounties and pensions 
now, or which may be provided for these brave defenders of the 


X 


nation, shall be paid without cost to the recipients ; and that the 
widows and orphans of the gallant dead, the wards of the nation, 
shall receive the nation’s protecting care, and while we cheerfully 
assume all these burdens, we can not forget, and the American 
people can never forget, that the Democratic party. South and 
North, we owe all the calamities of the late slave-holders’ rebellion, 
and the debt now resting upon the industry of our State and nation. 

4, That we indorse the act of Congress, and of the Adminis¬ 
tration in maintaining the traditionary policy of the nation of 
living in friendly relations with other governments, yet avoiding 
entangling aliances with them, as evidenced in checking hostile 
expeditions from our shores, refusing to interfere in domestic revo¬ 
lutions, even where our sympathies are strongly enlisted, and 
agreeing to the arbitration of disputed claims, while demanding 
admission of the wrong done. 

5. That we approve the action of Congress and of the present 
Administration in all their efforts to reduce expenditures in the 
several departments, and in the reduction of the tariff and internal 
taxes as rapidly as the exigencies of the government will admit, 
while continuing to maintain the public credit by the sure and 
gradual payment of the debt of the nation, and by discharging the 
obligations due her soldiers, sailors and pensioners. 

G. That we favor all efforts looking to the development of the 
great industrial interests of the Statr, and we request our Senators 
and Representatives in Congress to use their influence, in any re¬ 
vision of the tariff; to secure to the coal and iron interests of our 
State all the incidental protection consistent with a due regard to 
the principles of reducing the burden of taxation. 

7. That the adherence of Congress and the Administration to 
the present financial policy, in spite of the hostility of political 
opponents, has been fully justified by the payments made on the 
public debt, and in the stability, security and increased confidence 
it has given to all the business affairs of the country. 

8. That the financial affairs of the State and Nation should be 
conducted on the principles of economy, and to this end all useless 
ofSces should be abolished, fees and salaries limited to a fair com¬ 
pensation for the services rendered, and by prohibiting the allow¬ 
ance of all perquisites, and by avoiding all unnecessary appropria- 


XI 


tions and expenditures ; and in this State we favor the abolition of 
the ofidces of Agent of State and State Printer. 

9. That we are opposed to granting further donations of public 
lands to railroads or other corporations, and demand that the pub¬ 
lic domain be reserved for the use of actual settlers, the discharge 
of the obligations of the country to its brave defenders, and the 
purposes of general education. 

10. That Congress ought to interfere for the protection of im¬ 
migrants, to shield them from the unjust exactions levied upon 
them in the shape of capitation taxes, under the laws of New York 
and other seaboard States ; the true policy of the country being to 
extend a cordial invitation to the citizens of other countries to 
cast their lot with us, and share on terms of perfect equality the 
blessings which we enjoy. 

-ii. That we approve the efforts being made for the vindication 
of honest government by the exposure, removal and punishment 
of corrupt officials, whether of municipalities. State or Nation ; we 
hail such exposures, undeterred by fears of party injury, as proof 
of the integrity of the party ; and we spurn the attempts of the 
opposition to turn these efforts at self-purificaiion into proofs of 
party venality; and we demand of all public officers honesty, so¬ 
briety, and diligence in the discharge of their duties. And w'e an¬ 
nounce our unrelenting hostility to all attempts by corporations, 
monopolies or combinations, to influence elections, or the Legisla¬ 
ture of the State, by the use of corrupt means. 

12. That as a general dissemination of knowledge and learning 
among the people is essential to the existence of a free republic, we 
hold the public free schools to be the safeguard of our liberties, and 
pledge ourselves to cherish and maintain them. 

13. That we are in favor of such a revision of our criminal 
code, as will secure the more speedy and effectual administration of 
justice, and such wise and judicious legislation as will enforce in¬ 
dividual responsibility for all acts affecting public interests. 

11. That the efforts now being made by the working men of the 
nation to improve their own condition, and more completely to 
vindicate their independence of class subordination, meet our cor¬ 
dial approbation; and for proof that the Republican party is the 
true friend of the laborer, we point to the fact that while opposing 
all attempts to array capital and labor against each other as mutu¬ 
ally destructive, it has been by the efforts of this party that labor 


Xll 


was emancipated from the ownership of capital; free homesteads 
provided for settlers on the public domain ; the hours of labor re¬ 
duced; and complete equality of rights established before the law; 
and therefore we invite working men to seek whatever further ad¬ 
vantage or amelioration they may desire, within the embrace of 
the party of liberty and equality. 

15. That the joint resolution passed by the last General Assem¬ 
bly proposing to amend the Constitution so as to prohibit the Leg¬ 
islature from ever assuming or paying the canal debt which was 
charged exclusively upon the Wabash and Erie canal under the 
legislation of 184G and 1847, commonly Called the Butler bill, ought 
to be adopted by the next General Assembly, and submitted to the 
people, to the end that it may be ratified and become a part of the 
Constitution. 

16. That we endorse the administration of Gov. Conrad Baker, 
and applaud the firm, able and couteous manner in which he has 
discharged the duties of his high office, and we greatly regret that 
he has not had the co-operation of a Republican Legislature to car¬ 
ry out the various measures proposed for the reformation of abuses, 
the protection of the people against fraudulent canal claims, and 
the further development of the immense resources of the State. 

17. That our Senators and Republican members of Congress, 
deserve the approbation of their constituents for the firm, able and 
energetic manner in which they have discharged their duties. 

18. That the administration of Gen. Grant has boen consistent 
with the principles of the Republican party, and eminently just, 
wise, and humane, and such as fulfills his pledges and deserves our 
cordial support. And, therefore, we instruct our delegates to the 
National Convention to vote for the renomination of Grant and 
Colfax as our candidates for President and Vice President. 

19. That our Senators and Representatives in Congress be in¬ 
structed to favor a law giving to all soldiers, honorably discharged 
from the late war, one hundred and sixty acres of public land to 
dispose of as they see fit.
